With sea levels due to rise dramitically someone needs to spend huge amounts to protect our towns a villages and within those predictions is severe flooding to Marsh Barton with villages like Starcross flooded on a regular basis.

The dredger "Mannin" had been picking up silt from Exmouth Marina and dumping it off Sprey Point in Teignmouth. Last weekend the beach at Teignmouth changed from red to black, causing deep concern. The Marine Management Organisation (MMO), a Government organisation, withdrew the licence from the Mannin to do this on Monday (or maybe Tuesday) after this was reported.

Reading the article further, the American lobyist's are claiming that the higher standards that we have in place----------------------------------------------------------Phew! is a form of tarriff. So tarriff's come in all sorts of way's. That has got to be a new one.

The UK, overall, may not have voted for Brexit. That's what may have been different.

More reason's why there should be a levy placed on those can's. How about 20p per can refunded when you take the can back.

The four month old black Labrador was off the lead when it fell at Polzeath, just over the border in Cornwall, on Saturday morning.

Looks like they’ve got away with it as well. Disgusting.

We should always commemorate and remember fallen and non fallen heroes, and if the beacon was made for a reason it should be used, looked after and maintained for the reason. I fear there is so much in Dawlish that could make Dawlish so pretty, that just goes amiss. Will Cllr Wrigley also ask for the removal of the Christmas Tree dumped in the manor grounds and ask why the area is not being ...

My daughter was evacuated from a student block in Swansea.
